Basically if you want to go over the power level of 45-40 there is a big void...good luck to you...
10 mm Auto is only widely available from Glock (Model 20 & 29), Kimber and Dan Wesson are mostly on special order at least in shops around Western WA, rarely you see one available on shelves.
Some shops carry the EAA but....you know the issues about EAA and the Witness 10 mm in particular, so I won't go there....
Here and there only occasionally you see some DE (357 Mag, 44 Mag or 50 AE) and even more rare some exotic calibers like the 45 Super or the 460 Rowland.
Up to 45 and 40 the offering is limitless, every conceivable size, action, metal, polymer etc....
On the revolver side, almost every shop carries at least some S&W 500 models, 357 and 44 Mag from every manufacturer are everywhere and the 454 is very common also
So why the vast majority of semi auto ends at 45-40 power levels???
Few semi-auto users want more power?? Are they wimpy??
The 10 mm Auto is a fantastic high power compact caliber, perfect for light wood protection...
In my opinion every gun lover should salivate over a true 10 mm load double stack pistol..the demand should be very strong to push more manufacturers into it.
The revolver almost equivalent of that round, the 357 Mag, is everywhere....
So what is the problem folks??? Some chauvinistic attitude toward a cartridge maybe perceived as foreigner?? It should not be so...after all the very popular 9 mm is a foreign cartridge!!!
Why very few pistolas with more oomph than a 45 or a 40 in the market??
Can someone solve the mistery for me??
Regards
